Product Information
Full details
This GANT Quilted Windcheater Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a stylish and functional outerwear option for light weather conditions. Its key benefit is providing water-repellency and warmth with a diamond quilting structure and recycled polyester padding. A potential caveat is that its water-repellent treatment is most effective in light rain, not heavy downpours. Key features include a durable water-repellent finish, recycled insulation, and practical design elements like welt pockets and adjustable cuffs.

FAQs
What does 'water-repellent finish' mean?
A water-repellent finish means that water will bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, preventing it from soaking through in light rain or mist. It does not mean the jacket is waterproof.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the water-repellent finish is designed for light weather conditions. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I reapply the DWR treatment?
You can reapply DWR treatment using specialized sprays or washes available in outdoor gear stores. Always follow the instructions provided with the DWR product and ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it cold with like colors. Avoid using bleach and do not dry clean.
What is the padding made of?
The padding is made of recycled polyester, offering an eco-friendly insulation option.
How should I adjust the cuffs?
The cuffs have an elasticated design with a press button adjuster. You can secure the cuff by fastening the press button to achieve a snug fit around your wrist.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax can be applied to the teeth for smoother operation.
Water repellency seems reduced
The DWR treatment may need reapplication. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a DWR waterproofing spray or wash, following the product's specific instructions.
Jacket feels too tight or loose at the hem/cuffs
Adjust the elasticated hem and cuff using the press button adjusters to achieve a comfortable and secure fit.
